5 Weeks and Counting...

As the restless night has already gotten the best of me, I've decided to blog. I not only have pregnancy (self diagnosed, mind you) induced insomnia, I have this nagging cough and slightly stuffy nose that I can't seem to kick!! So not only am I not sleeping but I'm sure I'm giving my unborn child 'shakin' baby syndrome'!!!! Seriously, I'm worried about it and a billion other things!!! Other than that....I don't really know that I have much to say, my lack of sleep and the lack of brain power pregnancy alone gives me, I'm at a loss for words. (wah, wah...poor me!!)

I could write about Drew and how stinkin' cute and fun he is...
I could write about .... that's just it....I can't think of a darn thing to write about! I know I have so much to do to be ready for this new little addition to our family and my mind seems to be racing these days with all the preparations that I still need to make. So, maybe, that's what I will write about this time. (I will write about Drew--I've got at least 3 stories to blog about but will do those later, promise! This will not be my only sleepless night, I assure you!)

Here is my list of BABY GIRL To Do's: (mind you some are done and some are not)

28. Possibly return baby bedding and reorder another style!! :(
29. Pink binkies-check

So....that's it for now! Ha! Could my list be any longer?? I guess with all the time when I should be sleeping I could be checking more off my list...but I'm so tired!!!!

Oh and yes...some of you may be wondering how I could possibly only have 5 weeks left. Well, the truth is I have 8 but with being diabetic full term is 37 weeks. Which puts me at delivery around April 15th!!!! I have my OB appointment today (Friday) and will be scheduling an Amniocentesis and my c-section with hopes that I will go into labor on my own!! Found out I cannot be induced with a previous c-section due to higher chance of my previous incision rupturing! ahhhh, scary!

Far TOO Long!!

So the time has FLOWN by since my last post! What have we been up to since....

1. Celebrated our 4th anniversary!
2. Bought new couches for our Living Room! Yeah!
3. Had our Annual Couple's Valentine's Party--SO FUN!!
4. Watched our twin nephews Daxton and Jacoby while Jamie and Kendall went to the Jazz game!
5. Took care of Julie and TJ's 4 kids while they were in HAWAII for 9 days....lucky dogs!
6. Survived being "mommy" of 5 children!! I could do it...but not going to happen!! But most important the KIDS SURVIVED!! hehe
7. Survived: 2 kids getting pink eye (joy) and Reece getting RSV and having to have breathing treatments every 4 hours Friday night!! So scary!! I'm so glad she's doing better!!
8. Watched the Olympics...totally addicted even if the sport I was watching was a complete bore!
9. Found out I will deliver at 37 weeks....APRIL 15th people!!!!
10. Decided to schedule a C-section (my 2nd) but hoping and hope you will pray too for a "go into labor on my own at 37 weeks" situation!! But if not...I'm OK with having another C-section! I think pushing a baby out is totally overrated anyway!
11. Decided to name our baby girl....( I better check with Sigh before I officially announce!)
12. FINALLY got the baby's room all cleared out so we (Silas) can start the paneling and painting project I have planned!!
13. Just super excited for the next 6 WEEKS to fly by just as quickly as the last, but I'm not getting my hopes up!!
14. And seriously having so much fun with Drew....he's so stinkin' cute and I just love being his mommy!!! ( I will post pictures soon!)
